Thank you for providing the customer photos. -------------------------------------------------- ---- As can be seen on a picture, a steel plate and a screw kit are included. These materials can be used to obstruct the 2.5-inch SSD in a desktop computer / workstation, the so often have only bays for 3.5-inch hard drives. This saves you the purchase of Installation Kit. From the article description this attached accessories is evident not yet clear. -------------------------------------------------- ---- On the manufacturing side gives a useful free software for running the Intel SSD disks: Intel SSD Toolbox - v1.3.0.000.msi (version status in August 2010). This little helper can also perform the so-called TRIM command. Thus, the board is conditioned and keeps your performance. According to some SSD manufacturers should run this command 1x per day of use. The program can be achieved with a few seconds when it calls regularly and initializes the command. The Intel websites could be even clearer. I have a search engine (Google) the term Intel SSD Toolbox - v1.3.0.000.msi entered (or Intel SSD Toolbox) or the instructions for use as a phrase input: Intel_SSD_Toolbox_User_Guide.pdf. This I found the tool on the Intel side. You can break anything with the program of course, nothing. Unfortunately it is only available in English. -------------------------------------------------- ---- The offered SSD is part of the so-called second generation. Now - in August 2010 - I assume that you will be integrated into the next generation the Trim command in the firmware of the SSD. What is the meaning lie that the user calls per Nutzungtag 1x this little tool to run the command manually. Well, - perhaps there is in the future, a firmware update for the current panel generation to the Trim command automatically run (?). -------------------------------------------------- ---- In any case, offered here compared with other products Intel SSD X25-V is a relatively inexpensive entry-level model. The Intel SSD X25-V brings a lot of increase in pace. -------------------------------------------------- ---- Addendum on 30/08/2010: The so-called Trim command can be executed on the SSD tool timed (Scheduler). So not run by clicking necessary - Prima! Also important - be careful when buying: In the third and fourth place of the type designation G2 should be. That is to say the second SSD generation.
